SAYINGS OF IMAM HUSSEIN

" I am the Imam, the Representative of the Apostle of God. I shall never yield to the one who believes not in God and who deceives the Word of the Lord, in word and deed and who spreads godlessness on the earth. Let any calamity befall me and my dear ones, the will of the Lord shall be done.

I heard her supplicate for the believers by name; but she did not supplicate for herself, so I asked: `Mother, why don't you supplicate for yourself as you supplicate for others?' She answered: `Son! Prefer your neighbor over yourself. "'
